AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE GREAT FALLS MT
1035 PM MST Sat Nov 16 2013

AVIATION SECTION UPDATED

.UPDATE...
Snow showers persist over much of north central and central
Montana this evening, especially in the mountains. Will therefore
be continuing the winter storm warnings/winter weather advisory as
is. The showers over the plains should decrease from the west
overnight, but there is a good chance that they will produce light
but measurable snowfall for most of the area, so have increased
the chance of snow into the likely/categorical range. Mountain
locations will likely receive another 3 to 6 inches, on top of the
8 to 12 inches so far. Over the plains, however, additional snow
amounts will likely remain less than 2 inches in the east and less
than 1 inch in the west. In southwest Montana, showers have become
a bit more scattered in nature, but they have the potential to
bring an additional 2 to 4 inches to the mountains, so will allow
the warning to continue in the mountains there as well. However,
valley locations will only receive flurries, if any snowfall at
all. Winds have also decreased across the area, but isolated gusts
to 30 mph remain possible, so have left mention of potential
blowing snow in the wording of the winter weather statements.
Temperatures appear to be on track overnight, with lows in the 5
to 15 degree range north and mostly 15 to 25 degrees in the
southwest. Coulston

.AVIATION...
UPDATED 0535Z.
Axis of the broad upper-level trough moving across MT tonight is now
east of KHVR/KLWT, so expect slow improvement in ceilings over
central and southwest MT during the overnight hours. Areas of
scattered light snow will continue mainly along/north of a
KHLN-to-KLWT line, but precipitation will gradually dissipate as
well, as primary moisture plume heads downstream into ern MT.
Expect mostly VFR conditions with intermittent MVFR/IFR ceilings
accompanying the bands of snow thru 12Z. Winds becoming breezy to
gusty Sun aftn/eve along the Rocky Mtn Front and over the central
plains.  Waranauskas

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION...
/ISSUED 440 PM MST Sat Nov 16 2013/
Tonight through Monday...
The upper trough over the forecast area late Saturday afternoon
will move east and into eastern Montana after midnight. A couple
of weather disturbances aloft will move through the forecast area
later tonight and Sunday morning. Snow showers this evening will
diminish later tonight and Sunday morning but not totally end due
to the weather disturbances mentioned above. Northwest flow aloft
Sunday afternoon will back to the west by Monday. Moisture will
be embedded in the flow so expect more snow showers for the Rocky
Mountain Front and a few snow showers for the southwest and
central mountains. Lower elevations should remain mostly dry. At
the surface a warm front should set up near a Lewistown to Cut
Bank line by late Sunday afternoon so have continued to warm
temperatures. This warm front will continue to move northeast
Sunday night and into Canada and there will be a threat of snow
over northcentral Montana as this happens. Then the front should
move south Monday as a cold front but models differ on where the
front will end up by late afternoon with the NAM model having the
front as far south as Great Falls to Lewistown line while other
models have the front near the U.S. route 2 corridor. As for
winter highlights that are in effect through Sunday morning..will
leave them in place at this time though snow should be gradually
diminishing tonight. Will add a high wind watch for the Rocky
Mountain Front and the remainder of Lewis and Clark County for
Sunday night and Monday with the exception of the Helena area.
Models forecast westerly winds aloft to become strong Sunday
evening and in addition a stable layer aloft could also help in
the development of high winds. Blank

Monday night through Saturday afternoon...
A series of shortwaves will be moving into the upper level high
pressure ridge Monday night and this will bring cooler
temperatures and an increasing chance of precipitation to central
Montana. Low surface pressure will develop along the lee slopes
of the Rockies Tuesday and winds will increase, possible near
warning criteria near the Rockies. The 12z/Saturday deterministic
GFS and ECMWF are in good agreement with the timing and placement
of a low-level cold front pushing into the northern portion my
CWA around midday or early afternoon on Tuesday. By
00z/Wednesday, both models keep the front north of Great Falls,
but 850 temperatures near the Canadian border are in the -13 C to
15 C range. With this front moving southward into north-central
Montana, increased precipitation changes for the Rocky Mountain
Front and immediate adjacent plains, where several inches of snow
can be expected at the higher elevations. At this point, only
anticipating minor accumulations over far northcentral Montana.

Mild temperatures in the lower 50s are expected ahead of the
front for most of north-central, central, and southwest Montana.
Consensus model blend drops highs into the 20s and 10s for north-
central Montana on Wednesday. Modifying temperatures, into the
30s are expected on Thursday as a southwest flow develops once
again, warming 850 temperatures to near 0 C. Considerable
uncertainty exists with temperatures on Friday and Saturday as
the 12z/Saturday ECMWF brings yet another strong cold front
southward into Montana. The 12z/Saturday GFS on the other hand
keeps the low-level temperature gradient nearly stationary over
central Alberta and Saskatchewan which is more in line with
consensus. Uttech/Zelzer
